How to Play Heart and Soul on the Piano

Heart and Soul is a classic piano tune than anyone can master. It is meant to be a duet on the piano, with one person playing the bass and another playing the treble, but you will see me playing both parts on this video.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• piano or keyboard

1. Let's learn the left hand part first. Put your left number 5 finger (pinky) on the C, your third finger on the E and your number 1 finger (your thumb) on the G. Play the C once, then the C again, then the E, then the G.

2. Move your left hand down (that is to the left of the piano). Put your left number 5 finger on the A, your third finger on the C and your number 1 finger on the E. Play the same pattern as above. Play the A once, then the A again, then the C, then the G.

3. Move your left hand down to the F. Put your left number 5 finger on the F, your third finger on the A and your number 1 finger on the C. Play the same pattern. Play the F once, then the F again, then the A, then the G.

4. This is where you will be going up the piano ( to the right) to the G. Put your left number 5 finger on the G, your third finger on the B and your number 1 finger on the D. Repeat the pattern from above.

5. Go back to the C position and repeat the pattern all the way through while the right hand part is being played.

6. The right hand part goes like this. I am going to give you the notes only and if you need help with the notes, go to my article on How to Read Piano Music. Take your right hand and find the C and play it 4 times, B, A, B, C, D, E, E, E, E, D, C, D, E, F, G, C, A, G, F, E, D, C.
